Yeah, outstanding job!

I NEVER goop my tires, but some 1:10 tracks have a permanent "puddle" of goo on the starting line, so I totally see the purpose here.

It's nerve racking without the curbs at the end Funky.LOL But it's an awesome feeling when you run 42 MPH in 132', with a car that heavy.

I hope that never happens. I have a Futaba FASST 3PM 2.4G radio with fail safe and it works really well. I would not run it real fast with out it! I also put thick foam around the receiver. The OLD's body that I have is a hard one to find, But the chassis can be fixed.

What's the latest on the EasTex Express? Any recent outings? It was coming around nicely earlier this year...
